The 13th Annual Maple Blues Awards
The Maple Blues Awards is Canada’s national blues awards program. Its goal is to promote blues music across Canada, and to recognize outstanding achievement in the field.
The nominees are selected by a distinguished panel of blues DJs and journalists from across Canada. Members of the Nominating Panel are not eligible for any of the awards.
The winners are selected by the votes of blues fans from across
Canada. Blues fans
cast their votes online, at
www.mapleblues.ca (designed
by KMP Designs, Inc).
